Java Applet Workaround

The STRONGVON Tournament Management System has always provided a free web browser version of its administration software since 2006 by means of a Java applet within browsers. Recently, Oracle (who purchased Sun Microsystems, original owners of the Java technology, in January 2010) has added security protocols that prevent the use of our free applet without the user adding our site to the Java security exception list. To maintain its license free use, we are forced to instruct users of our free admin applet to add https://www.strongvon.com to the Java Exception Site list on their computers. The changes that affect the browser version of our administration software does not affect the full version that is installed on your computer.
